Now would be a perfect the time for MJ to start something like a Storytellers event ..performance, video and cd release. To see him do his songs in an intimate setting with a lot of acoustics etc. I think this would sell millions. What a nice rebound effect it would have on his recent controversies. Concentrate on music and not image creation-reforming-regrouping. This shit would sell therough the roof. Shit..he needs to tour.

... Or, Michael Jackson - Unplugged.

A much cooler, stripped down affair.

Boy, you sure are anal retentive today

Hmm, must b the

I want Storytellers because it is stripped down anyways and there is usually a lot of audience banter and explanations to the songs, recording process etc.

Hey, why r we the only 2 posters on this thread?

Hmmm, must b the

I hope thats the case

of course I would want it.do songs like "Let Me Show You the Way to Go",that's what you get for being Polite",Stranger in Moscow,unplugged Billie Jean&Human Nature would be tight,Heartbreak Hotel,Man in the Mirrior,&some J5 Songs along with early MJ Hits as a Kid.I've been hoping He would do this for years.when He cancelled at the Beacon back in 1995 in New York I think this was the Intention but He backed away.still could do it.

Now thats what I'm talkin about Show You The Way, Polite, Destiny, etc. thats what I mean. He has such a huge wonderful catalogue to show off his voice and music. Instead of things like Scream. This..is a damn shame.

I think what Happen Man is that alot of People don't remember or forgot that MJ almost got dropped from Sony unless 'Destiny" Hit&then He got His Feelings Hurt with "off The Wall" not being Respected at the Grammys so He got caught up in Industry Politics&truth Is He didn't change His Formula for How He makes Albums but He went at times for more Cross-Over Material with different Songs&things.but I Wished that He would just strip it down because the Cat doesn't have anything to Prove as far as Cross-over&Pop Acceptance.I mean He truyl wrote those Rules 20 years back.time to truly Seperate Himself from the pack&if He did something like this where He was like Oh what the Hell I'm doing this nobody could say Jack about Him.timing is Right for It because He is truly One of the Last Major Acts that People seem to still kinda Get Hyped on.and at this Stage something stripped down would do Wonders for Him as a Artist to be Reckon with in this New Era of Music.

I agree and thats why I say he needs storytellers unpluggged material again...to get back home, to basics. Like all artists do after going through 20 years of the music machine. Just you at the mic...no fanfare..no overdubs..no glitter..no shit.

Great thread!!! I've said it once before a Michael Jackson Unplugged album would be ideal for Mike right about now. There are so many levels of his artistry that he hasn't even explored..because he is too busy trying to "king of pop", which in a sense is a detriment to the overall scope of his greatness.

I said it once before. I have no shame in saying that if Mike dropped an unplugged album. I'd buy it the day it comes out.
